Chapter 2: Functions and Features 2.6 Namekey Concept Namekey is a unique identifier used both internally and externally to track data entities. Mak- ing use of these will allow finer control and tracking from within the automated systems inter- acting with the Integration Toolkit. The use of namekey provides the programmer with a non-ambiguous method to create and track entities. This provides a mechanism to retrieve status and states of requests. When using communication channels to create an entity (such as creating a job), providing a namekey is optional. If a namekey is not provided, the system will supply a self-generated namekey.
Where needed, the system will create unique namekeys (for example in job segment and his- tory entries) to allow query functionality. 20964-000 Rev. C Fleet Operation Workspace Core Integration Toolkit 17 User's Manual
